Clocks make a splash at Havering Swimming Gala!

Last week Clockhouse attended the Havering Swimming Gala. This is an event Clockhouse have only started entering in the past few years. Typically the schools with pools dominate the event with Clockhouse previously only ever making one final.

Clockhouse had a tough heat, meeting schools such as eventual winners St Joseph's and Rise Park who both have pools plus sporting powerhouses Ardleigh Green and Parsonage Farm. With Scotts also in Lane 2.

Clockhouse heat results were as follows:
Kayleigh S - Girls Backstroke 1st (Qualified for final)
Taylor J - Boys Backstroke 3rd (Qualified for final)
Kayleigh S - Girls Breaststroke 5th
William S - Boys Breaststroke 4th
Maia W - Girls Freestyle 5th
Dillan C - Boys Freestyle 3rd (Qualified for final)
Girls Relay - DNS
Boys Relay - 2nd (Qualified for final)

In the Finals Clockouse achieved the following results:
Kayleigh S - Girls Backstroke 4th
Taylor J - Boys Backstroke 5th
Dillan C - Boys Freestyle 5th
Boys Relay 4th

Mr Yarrow recapped the event by saying "I am proud of the children's achievements today! This is by far our most successful gala. At the event we reached 4 finals in a range of strokes and events before today we had only ever reached one.

When you look at what the children are up against in schools with their own pools and club swimmers with in depth training programmes it highlights the resilience of our children.

Thank you to all the parents who transported children, I am already excited for next year's event."

Swim Squad: William S, Taylor J, Kayleigh S, Maia W and Dillan C
